When Anne says her prayers for the first time, I admit I laughed out loud when she asked God for her wants!  The way she ends her prayer, “Please let me stay at Green Gables; and please let me be good-looking when I grow up.”  L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

We’ve probably all prayed prayers we look back on with a grin and thought of disbelief that we’d say such things to the Father of all creation!

“It’s lovely to be going home and know it’s home.”  L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“I love my garden, and I love working in it.  To potter with green growing things, watching each day to see the dear, new sprouts come up, is like taking a hand in creation, I think.  Just now my garden is like faith – the substance of things hoped for.”  L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
